To do this, the correlation of egg consumption to the LDL-c/HDL-c ratio in humans is being studied. The LDL-c/HDL-c is considered one of the most important markers of cardiovascular health. The question of how eggs affect the body has been long researched and debated, largely focusing on cholesterol and cardiovascular health. Lately, evidence has pointed towards eggs being healthy in moderate amounts (up to 2 eggs daily), but there is a research gap into the effect of high-egg-diets (more than 2 a day). Filling this research gap will help fill the nutritional picture of eggs, allowing us to more fully understand and utilize eggs in our diets. Certain populations may benefit from positive findings regarding eggs, such as those with heart disease if eggs are shown to help in large numbers. Certain populations may be warned by negative findings, such as body builders who may eat 6+ eggs daily. Data will be collected from all willing participants, with data deidentified and variables accounted for once data is collected. The independent variable being collected is routine egg consumption, and the dependent variable is the participants’ LDL-c/HDL-c ratio as recorded by independent lipid panels. The experiment will compare the association between the egg consumption variable and the LDL-c/HDL-c ratio variable. | Madisyn Flammia Moreno | The Collegiate School @ FSU PC | Research | mjf24@fsu.edu | Egg Consumption, LDL-c/HDL-c Ratio, LDL, HDL, LDL/HDL Ratio, Diet | Complete | C.

With the increasing adoption of digital currencies, concerns about their use in illicit activities have grown. This study examines existing regulatory frameworks in various jurisdictions, assessing their ability to prevent and detect cryptocurrency-related financial crimes. The unique challenges posed by cryptocurrencies, such as anonymity and cross-border transactions, are analyzed to determine the limitations of current AML measures. The research evaluates the impact of regulatory efforts on curbing the misuse of cryptocurrencies, identifying gaps and areas for improvement. Case studies and theories were determined for use based on their recency in publishment and their relevance to current crypto-laundering crimes. Furthermore, real life scenarios such as companies that have been impacted by these anti-money laundering laws regardless of positive or negative effects were used as examples to further convey the ineffectiveness of the AML laws. Ultimately, this study provides insights into the ongoing need for adaptive and robust regulatory strategies to combat financial crimes in the digital currency landscape. |

Various studies have been conducted around the world on the use and effect these extended reality technologies on architectural clients. These studies have consistently found a positive correlation between this immersive and interactive technology and rising client satisfaction with design plans. However, data might be limited due to the nature of extended reality technology relatively new integration in the architectural field. The implications of previous studies on the effect of these technologies on client satisfaction deserve to be explored further. Understanding the effects of these technologies in customer satisfaction is significant mainly to architectural firms. Higher client satisfaction rates lead to client retention, referrals, and a stronger reputation in the firm’s community through the word of mouth of the clients. With the increasing competitive market, customer satisfaction is a key differentiator to set an architect apart from other competitors. | Madisyn Flammia | The Collegiate School | Research | mjf24@fsu.edu | virtual reality; architecture; design | Complete | M.

Hence, understanding the molecular structure and experimenting with different methods of treatment could eventually end the suffering of millions. Sickle cell disease causes red blood cells to take the shape of a crescent moon due to the production of abnormal hemoglobin molecules. It mostly affects the areas in and around Africa, the Middle East, Southeastern Asia, and the Mediterranean areas. The goal of my research is to inform and spread awareness about sickle cell disease. I am conducting an in-depth literature review, and I intend to search for and combine information from credible sources that discuss sickle cell disease. Some of such credible databases include the National Library of Medicine, Science Direct, and Radiological Society of North America. A 3D printed model of the gene will be included. I expect my research to spread awareness of how deadly sickle cell disease is and hopefully inspire organizations to conduct more in-depth research and experimentation regarding the treatment of sickle cell disease in affected populations. | Madi Flammia | The Collegiate School at Florida State University Panama City | Research | mjf24@fsu.edu | sickle cell disease | Complete | T.

One common issue is eye strain, as prolonged screen time can cause the eyes to become dry and fatigued. Blinking is essential for maintaining ocular homeostasis because it keeps the eye’s surface properly lubricated. Research by Ousler et al. (2014) shows that individuals with dry eyes spend more time with their eyes closed each minute than those without dry eyes in order to maintain this balance. This study focuses on blinking behavior and examines whether blink frequency during computer use varies depending on the time of day. Understanding these patterns is important for supporting eye health, especially as digital device use continues to rise. However, accurately measuring blink rates is difficult without technological assistance. To address this challenge, I developed a Python application to detect and track blink frequency. In this pilot study, the app will record blink rates during three time periods—morning, afternoon, and night. The long‑term goal is to create a tool that alerts users when their blink rate falls outside normal ranges, helping them make informed decisions and reduce the risk of eye strain. |

Highschool Student; Aerospace Engineering | I am a junior currently taking dual-enrollment classes through The Collegiate School at FSU PC. I am working toward earning an AA degree before graduating from high school, followed by a bachelor's and master’s degree in aerospace engineering. During my pursuit of a master’s degree, I plan to enroll in an ROTC program at the college I attend and apply to the United States Air Force. | Managing UAV Cost in the United States Air Force. | With the rise of technological advancements into military equipment, UAVs have been pushed to perform dangerous missions to protect the nations that utilize them. Questions on UAVs include how much is the United States military funding to advancements in the UAV industry, is using UAVs truly beneficial to the protection of United States citizens, and are UAVs capable of completing tasks that human fighter pilots are already capable of? UAVs are occasionally seen as ineffective or inferior to fighter pilots from previous system failures that have occurred during tests for the UAVs reconnaissance or combat efficiency. To provide assurance of the true potential of UAVs, research has been conducted in the form of a Literature Review to provide a series of tests that show how innovative UAVs can truly be. The articles that have been chosen from an array of Aerospace Engineering related databases involving positive and negative facts about utilizing UAVs. This paper will reveal the important answers to topics like how the usage of simulation to create designs allows engineers to form cost efficient means of manufacturing UAVs, how reconnaissance through the usage of improved encryption systems has provided a seamless method of safely transporting information regardless of the UAV’s position, and that UAVs capable of efficient usage with the help of protection from cyberattacks. It is important that the United States continue to dominate the world with their military presence to discourage other countries from attempting drastic military campaigns. | Madisyn Flammia | The Collegiate School | Research | mjf24@fsu.edu | UAVs, U.S. Air Force, National Defense | Complete | E.

High school student; intended major: Engineering | My name is Katy Hodges, and I am a full time dual-enrolled junior at The Collegiate School. I am interested in the Engineering field, and I hope to be a Biomedical engineer. I am a competitive swimmer, and I read and paint in my free time! | Prosthetics: Progress, Possibility, and People | Prosthetics worldwide are evolving rapidly with the emergence of new technologies. Put simply, prostheses are artificial devices used to replace a missing limb. Prosthetics provide an opportunity for individuals who were born without a limb to experience the convenience of an additional hand or leg, while offering amputees improved mobility and restoration of their limb. Everything in prosthetics is highly engineered, from optimizing the aesthetic appearance to the function or material. With the focus on certain aspects of these devices, there is often a trade-off with other qualities that are particularly lacking. Passive prostheses, for example, prioritize aesthetic or realistic appearances with a lack of functionality in the way that the patient is able to pick up objects or move. These tradeoffs often influence depression in patients post-amputation and are correlated with self-worth. Through evaluating the best fit prosthetic for the patient as well as the optimal time window, this research will help bridge the gap of patients' recovery process. This research aims to evaluate and define prosthetic qualities and the reasons why a patient might dislike or discontinue usage of prostheses. I collected data through evaluating previously conducted research studies and made connections that bring to light a new perspective. | Madisyn Flammia | The Collegiate School | Research | mjf24@fsu.edu | Prosthetics, amputees, technology | Complete | K.

High school student; Intended Major: Architecture | I am a high school student at The Collegiate School and dual enrolled at FSU Panama City, pursuing an Associate of Arts degree. I am an aspiring architecture major with interests in art, art history, general history, and mathematics. | Romantic Expression in Art: A Study of Nineteenth Century Romanticism and Belief | Romanticism was a complex social movement and period of history, which is associated with the Romantic line of thought that originated during that time and continues today. With mass changes stemming from human discovery, an equally massive backlash tends to follow. Romanticism is one of these backlashes. Best known for its explosive expansion around the Industrial Revolution, Romanticism became the name for those holding beliefs such as an affinity for nature and a subsequent opposition to the evolution of technology. Many experts, such as Edwin Berry Bergum and Edward F. Kravitt, have attempted to define Romanticism, but have been unable to encompass all of its facets, given the flexible outlines of Romantic thought, undeterminable chronical start to the movement, and indiscernible ending to the movement (if one has yet to, or could, occur). Without a widely recognized definition of Romanticism, the movement must be considered by the works that uphold its legacy. The arts became an outlet for Romantics, with authors like Jane Austen and Mary Shelly, musicians like Vaughan Williams, and artists like Ivan Aivazovsky, utilizing their passions to create pieces representing their beliefs. It is the intention of this study to examine the correlation between Romanticism as an outlet to express belief in the nineteenth century, and the subsequent increase of Romantic art at the time. Specifically, the goal is to use these findings to aid the understanding of human expression and how it can be identified, and therefore further studied as the curiosity that it is. | Madisyn Flammia | The Collegiate School FSU PC | Research | mjf24@fsu.edu | Romanticism, Art, Belief, Expression, History | Complete | M.

Shelby Godbee - Electrical Engineering; Dominic Weiland - Computer Engineering; Titus Campbell - Computer Engineering; Rachel Raffield - Electrical Engineering | Shelby Godbee Beginning my academic career as a computer science major, I found that my skills and interests were more aligned with that of electrical engineering. I loved learning about power systems, robotics, and microelectronic systems, and I am looking to pursue a career that involves these areas. I graduate in Fall of 2026. Dominic Weiland I transferred from Chipola College in Mariana and came to Panama City FSU. My interests are in computers and working around and with them, both with software and hardware. Titus Campbell I am from Panama City Florida, I am interested in a career in software engineering, and I graduate this Spring. Rachel Raffield After earning my AA in Music at Gulf Coast State College, I realized that I'd rather perform music as a hobby rather than as a career. I then made the decision to pursue electrical engineering at FSU-PC. The field immediately captured my interest; the endless amount of knowledge to pursue is both fascinating and motivating to me. I am interested in a career in defense, particularly one with a focus on communication systems, radar, and/or electronic warfare and protection. I graduate in Fall 2026. |
Electronic Nose | To detect trace amount of various abnormal gases in the air, the electronic nose uses an array of eight highly sensitive metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors that change resistance when exposed to volatile chemical compounds. The previous iteration of the nose supported a single-chamber testing system which took one hour to complete analysis and required every sample to be prepared manually between tests. Our work builds upon the prior team's work by implementing multi-chamber support that will greatly reduce the amount of manual monitoring operation required. | Dr. Saeed Rajput | FSU-PC | Electrical Engineering | srajput@fsu.edu | Ed Boardway | electronic, nose, gas, detection, sensors | Exploratory (the research question has been identified and design of approach is outlined) | S26_Electronic_Nose_Poster_0.pdf228.19 KB

Mechanical Engineering | Jonathan Serbest - Mechanical Engineering junior at Florida State University, Honors student, and current Vice President of RAM (Rocketry and Mechatronics) as well as SAME Chapter President in Panama City, FL. I’m gaining hands-on experience through an internship in the MEP field and plan to pursue a master’s in Systems Engineering to deepen my expertise. Passionate about engineering, leadership, and Olympic weightlifting. I'm seeking opportunities that value innovation, systems thinking, and a proactive, growth-oriented mindset. Case Dyer - I am a highly motivated, hardworking, and principled student with experience in SolidWorks, 2-D AutoCAD, and basic computer skills pursuing a summer internship in the field of Mechanical Engineering. What inspired me to enter into the field of Mechanical Engineering was when the engine in my 2003 VW Jetta 1.9L TDI failed. I decided to take it apart and find what had failed in my engine and how I could fix it. After much work, I ended up having to replace the entire cylinder head of my engine, but eventually I put it all back together and am still running this four-cylinder diesel saving machine 50,000 miles later with now 357,000 miles. |
L-PBF 3D Printed Inconel 718 Torsion and Fracture Surface Report | Twelve additively manufactured Inconel 718 metal samples, a high-strength nickel-based alloy, were subjected to mechanical loading tests and fracture surface examination. Six samples are subjected to torsional loading to failure, while six samples are subjected to elastic tensile loading. The specimens tested are split into two categories: heat-treated and un-heat-treated. The material is manufactured using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), an additive manufacturing process in which a high-energy laser selectively melts successive layers of metal powder to build a solid component. Due to the newness of this technology, limited information is available on how the L-PBF process affects material properties. The purpose of these tests is to determine application-based mechanical properties of additively manufactured Inconel 718 at room temperature under torsional and tensile loading. Properties of interest include Ultimate Torsional Shear Strength, Torsional Yield Strength, Shear Modulus, Modulus of Elasticity, Proportional Limit, and Poisson’s Ratio. The mechanical properties determined for both heat-treated and un-heat-treated specimens show noticeable variation when compared to published experimental values, indicating potential effects from additive manufacturing parameters and post-processing conditions. Overall, the tests demonstrate the ability of this high-strength, ductile material to withstand considerable deformation under torsional loading. Fracture surface examination shows that both sample types predominantly fail along the plane of maximum shear, producing flat fracture surfaces consistent with ductile material behavior and predictions from Mohr’s circle for pure torsion. This study contributes experimental insight into the mechanical response of L-PBF Inconel 718 in torsion and tension. |

PRDCT – Powder Rheometric Device that Characterizes Torque | For a material to be fed through a hopper, it often needs to be agitated with a rotating apparatus so that it will move as desired. The objective of this project is to design a test apparatus that can collect data regarding the torque required to “agitate” various materials. Upon collection of data, a predictive model will be developed. By developing a predictive model, necessary agitator components can be specified using material properties so that testing does not have to occur for every material. | Twan Capehart | FAMU-FSU College of Engineering | Mechanical Engineering | tcapehart@pc.fsu.edu | Ed Boardway | torque, powder rheometer, Merrick | Exploratory (the research question has been identified and design of approach is outlined) |

The Interaction of P:C Ratios and Exercise on Metabolic Plasticity and Longevity in Drosophila. | This project explores how dietary macronutrient balance and exercise influence lifespan and metabolic health using Drosophila melanogaster as a model for human nutrition and aging. The primary goal is to examine how variations in the protein to carbohydrate ratio, combined with physical activity, affect longevity-related outcomes. Understanding optimal macronutrient composition is important because dietary balance plays a central role in metabolic regulation, muscle function, and age-related decline in humans. Drosophila melanogaster is a powerful model organism due to strong genetic and physiological similarities to humans. Approximately 60 percent of human genes have functional equivalents in flies, and nearly 75 percent of genes associated with human disease are conserved. Flies also exhibit age-related declines in locomotor activity and mitochondrial function similar to humans, making them especially valuable for studying exercise, aging, and metabolic disease. By analyzing how dietary composition and exercise interact to influence lifespan, this project aims to contribute to the broader understanding of nutritional strategies that may promote healthy aging. Insights gained from Drosophila models may help inform future research on optimizing diet and physical activity interventions to reduce age-related disease risk in humans. |

Psychology | My name is Anastasia Adams and I am in the undergraduate psychology program here at Florida State University in Panama City, FL. Although my center of focus is psychology, I am passionate about conservation. When I took the biology lab for non-majors in the fall, professor Sarah Wofford-Mares taught me much about coastal erosion. I was honored when she offered me this opportunity to present the research we did last semester. The focus of the project was to determine how much shoreline armoring, or man-made infrastructure such as sea walls and jetties, affects coastal erosion and biodiversity. | Shoreline Armoring: Is it Good? Bad? Or Ugly? | Natural shorelines are increasingly favored over armored shorelines in Florida due to concerns about the ecological impacts of shoreline hardening. This study examined three armored and six natural shorelines at the Florida State University campus in Panama City, Florida, to evaluate whether hardened structures contribute to localized coastal erosion. Over a four-month period, slope changes, wave energy, and biodiversity indicators (including invertebrate and vegetation richness and evenness) were measured at each site using standardized field methods. The results showed that natural shorelines located adjacent to armored structures experienced elevated erosion rates. Additionally, notable differences in biodiversity and wave energy were observed between shoreline types, with armored sites exhibiting reduced biological diversity and altered wave conditions. These patterns suggest that shoreline armoring may have physical and ecological effects that extend beyond the structure itself. In particular, the study highlights how even small-scale shoreline modifications can influence sediment transport, habitat structure, and long-term ecological resilience across adjacent coastal areas. Overall, the findings provide important insight into how shoreline design influences coastal stability and ecological health. These findings reinforce the need for shoreline designs that balance human use with ecological function, particularly as coastal communities face increasing environmental pressures. Hurricanes and other natural disasters pose significant risks to coastal communities, compounding the natural processes of erosion that continue despite human intervention. By highlighting the trade offs associated with hardened versus natural shoreline approaches, this study offers valuable guidance for future restoration planning, permitting decisions, and coastal management strategies along Florida’s increasingly vulnerable coastline. | Sarah Wofford-Mares | Florida State University Panama City, Fl | Biology | sw22ba@fsu.edu | Conservation, Shoreline Management, Biodiversity | Complete | No | 2026 | 5th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium, April 17, 2025 | https://pc.fsu.edu/student-research/symposium/research-symposium-program-portal?element_parents=elements/student_photo&ajax_form=1&_wrapper_format=drupal_ajax&token=NEO8CktJoozwX_UY2hNCzMLADpIH9Lco7pzYb2-IIYI | |||||

Applied Behavior Analysis | Lydia Wilkinson is a second year graduate student at Florida State University and a clinician with the Early Childhood Autism Program. Her academic and clinical interests focus on communication behaviors, early language development, and prevention-oriented interventions for children with autism. Her current research examines the use of functional analysis methodology to inform spontaneous mand training. | A Functional Analysis of Communication Behaviors | The purpose of the present study is to replicate and extend functional analysis procedures described by Plavnick and Ferreri (2013) to examine multiple topographies of communication and the motivating operations under which they occur in young children with autism spectrum disorder. One child aged 2–6 years with a limited vocal repertoire and established nonverbal communication will participate. A paired-stimulus preference assessment will identify preferred stimuli for experimental conditions. Using a multielement design, communication responses will be assessed across play (control), attention, tangible, and demand conditions to identify differential responding associated with specific environmental contingencies. Dependent variables will include the frequency or latency of gestural communication topographies identified through indirect assessment and pilot probes. A secondary purpose is to evaluate the correspondence between indirect assessment outcomes and directly observed communication behaviors. Results indicated that two of the three target behaviors occurred most frequently during the tangible condition; the third behavior (vocalizations) occurred across all conditions. These results indicate that the participant's nonvocal communication behavior is maintained by access to tangibles. This study contributes to prevention-oriented assessment practices in applied behavior analysis and early communication intervention. | Leah Koehler | Florida State University | Psychology | koehler@pc.fsu.edu | Brent Melvin P.E., David Melvin P.E., Brian Lemieux P.E., Grant Harris P.E., Scott Golden P.E., Leanna Bell E.I., Quaid VanHuss P.E., Russel Large P.E. | Autism Spectrum Disorder, Communication, Manding, Functional Analysis | Complete | Symposium Poster Draft LW .pptx1011.01 KB

Applied Behavior Analysis | My name is Emma Zweber. I am currently a second year graduate student in the Applied Behavior Analysis master's program at Florida State University. After I graduate, I plan to work as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in a clinic setting. I enjoy working with children with autism spectrum disorder, specifically working on increasing communication and daily living skills while decreasing maladaptive behaviors. In the future I intend to work and conduct research in nursing home settings with elders with Alzheimer's and dementia. | Token-to-Trim: Utilizing a Token Economy to Increase Haircutting Tolerance | My poster displays the rationale, procedures and results for a protocol I designed and implemented for an eight-year old boy with autism spectrum disorder. The purpose of this protocol was to increase reinforcement utilized for his haircutting desensitization program. The clinical team implemented a variety of programs to help the client receive a haircut in the absence of avoidance and maladaptive behaviors. However, previous attempts proved to be unsuccessful, as the client avoided a haircut when brought to the salon. Therefore, a protocol was developed to increase the reinforcement utilized throughout his haircutting desensitization program. This protocol utilized token economy procedures to motivate the client to continuously make progress with receiving a haircut. After implementing the token economy, the client quickly mastered his original hair cutting program, and successfully received a hair cut in a salon with zero maladaptive behaviors. | Madelynn Roberson | Florida State University | Applied Behavior Analysis | mmr23b@fsu.edu | Brent Melvin P.E., David Melvin P.E., Brian Lemieux P.E., Grant Harris P.E., Scott Golden P.E., Leanna Bell E.I., Quaid VanHuss P.E., Russel Large P.E. | Autism, Haircutting, Desensitization, Token Economy | Complete | Yes | 2026 | 5th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium, April 17, 2025 | https://pc.fsu.edu/student-research/symposium/research-symposium-program-portal?element_parents=elements/student_photo&ajax_form=1&_wrapper_format=drupal_ajax&token=KWx4bCN5kMfq4GJG-aSLuw365jRO5j4gTqJe65PSFw8 | ||||

She often has vocal outbursts, such as screaming, yelling, or crying. These outbursts usually happen when she is asked to do something, when she has to stop a fun activity, or when a toy does not work the way she expects. Because of these behaviors, it is harder for her teachers and therapists to teach her new skills and keep sessions running smoothly. Observations showed that her outbursts might help her avoid tasks, get back a preferred toy, or make adults move away. A functional analysis was used to figure out which of these reasons best explains why Bluey’s outbursts happen. | Leah Koehler | Florida State University | Psychology-Applied Behavior Analysis | koehler@pc.fsu.edu | Brent Melvin P.E., David Melvin P.E., Brian Lemieux P.E., Grant Harris P.E., Scott Golden P.E., Leanna Bell E.I., Quaid VanHuss P.E., Russel Large P.E. | Functional Analysis | Complete | Job Fair Poster.pdf644.8 KB
